Pretty Bird: Obsessed

I totally love prints and feathers, none more than the Peacock feather. I am always excited to share my latest "Obsessions" and this one is no exception. The Peacock Feather Printed tights courtesy of Look from London!!
My only task at this point is choosing a color to purchase these fabulous leggings in. Black with no question but I also may have to grab a pair in mustard, Cerise and Grey :) With 11 colors to chose from there is something for everyone!!


I also LOVE that they are worn on the front OR back!


The front is so unexpected and the back is so CHIC! Your entire look changes with a quick shoe swap from a boot to a metallic sandal to a bootie to a heel.

They also have 2 peacocks "kissing" as a print on tights (Kissing Birds) - I'll take a pair; Black on Mustard Please!! oooooo and Black on Stone too ;) Make a leg-licious statement for under $35.

Not ready to get leggy? Try strutting your stuff in the rubber boot from Chooka for $60

Feathered Fashion

One of my obsessions is peacock feathers; their colors and patterns used in fashion -in textiles & prints, jewellery and peacock-esque accessories.

I have recently found one of my favorite pieces. It is a peacock feathered bib necklace that has 14 feathers or "eyes" and is feather fabulous. Where did I unearth this amazing piece? Forever 21 ladies! Your's for a mere $11. It appears to be sold out on their web site but check your local Forever 21 location.

My plumage passion goes from $6.00 earrings

to this amazing, over the top piece of art work like this:

The $1.5 million Peacock dress unveiled at the wedding expo held in Nanjing, capital of east China’s Jiangsu Province. The wedding dress decorated with 2,009 pieces of peacock feathers took eight handicraftsmen two months to finish.

DID YOU KNOW? The term "peacock" is commonly used to refer to birds of both sexes. Technically, only males are peacocks. Females are peahens, and together, they are called peafowl.
